Fire protective coat with enhanced sleeve movements and reduced rise

摘要

The outer shell of a fire protective coat includes right and left vertical pleats in its back portion to accommodate forward movement of its sleeves, and its sleeves each include front and rear pleats near where the sleeves connect to the body portion of the outer shell to accommodate upward movement of the sleeves and reduce rising or lifting of the lower edge of the coat. The removable liner therein includes an outer moisture barrier layer and an inner thermal layer, the inner thermal layer including right and left darts in its back portion near where its sleeve portions connect to its body portion and pleats in its sleeve portions near where they connect to its body portion. The moisture barrier layer includes right and left darts in its back portion near where its sleeve portions connect to its body portion and darts in its sleeve portions near where they connect to its body portion. The darts and pleats in the inner and outer layers cooperate with the pleats in the outer shell to provide great flexibility in sleeve movement for the coat and reduced rise.
